“I’m not into records, fellas,” Bradshaw told WFAN radio in New York. “I’m just into winning football games. The Saints hadn’t won a game this season. I’m not into records, I’m into winning Super Bowls. We lose sight of why we play. We play to win and to win championships, not break records.”

“I was a little upset that he (Brees) went to the NFL to get Payton back to watch him break a record,” Bradshaw said. “I’m like, 'Are you kidding me?’ I never would have gone and asked. I thought it was disrespectful to the San Diego Chargers.

“So go ahead, break it. … You’re throwing it 50 times a game.”

Meanwhile, Roethlisberger needs only 300 passing yards Thursday night to break Bradshaw’s team record for career passing yards.

Wonder what Bradshaw will have to say about that? Maybe Roethlisberger should brace himself.
